AFJ-backed law will make voting easier in California

While some other states are trying to make it harder for
people to vote, California is making it easier.

California Gov. Jerry Brown has signed into a law a bill
supported by AFJ and other groups to allow
people to register to vote on Election Day.
The bill won’t take effect until 2014 at the earliest, in order to allow
time to create a computer database of voters.

In his statement signing the bill Gov. Brown called voting “the
sacred right of every citizen.” He added: “While other states try to restrict
voters with new laws that burden the process, California allows voters to
register online – and even on Election Day.”
